The Kardashian sisters have taken over half the globe to date. Next stop: Armenia.
Khloé Kardashian, Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian are planning to travel to their paternal ancestral homeland in April, E! News has exclusively learned.
The specifics are still being worked out for their family milestone journey, but Kim is set to take daughter North West with her, while Kourtney will be traveling with kids Mason, Penelope and Reign as well. Several cousins are also expected to be along for the continent-crossing ride.
Kim's hubby, Kanye West, will make the trip if his upcoming touring schedule allows.
"Visiting Armenia has been on Kim's bucket list forever," a
family insider tells us. "They are all so excited! They want to learn
about their heritage."
The
sisters have always culturally identified with their Armenian roots,
annually paying tribute to victims of the Armenian Genocide, which
occurred in what is now modern-day Turkey, and otherwise proudly
recognizing their heritage. Kim has also spoken out about the plight of Syrian Armenians caught up in the ongoing civil war in Syria.
In 2011, when Kim landed on the cover of Turkish Cosmopolitan,
she was upset that the magazine put out the issue at a time that
coincided with the global Genocide Remembrance Day, April 24, reusing
the same cover shot that had been used for the inaugural issue of
Armenian Cosmopolitan the previous month.
"Cosmopolitan Magazine has a number of international
editions all around the world that run in various territories, and when I
did this shoot for the international covers I had no idea that Turkey
was planning to run my story on their cover THIS month, considering
Genocide Remembrance Day is this month," Kim said at the time.
"My
Armenian heritage means a lot to me and I've been brought up to be
incredibly proud of my family's background and culture so as an
Armenian-American woman it is a huge honor for me to be on the first
ever Armenian Cosmopolitan cover."
